The recipe JRPfeffadded looks awesome, maybe its the shrimp. However, folks, My recipe is simple-ketchup and lots of horseradish. Who needs worchestershire,lemon,tobasco pepper or dry mustard? And frankly-chili sauce is a wonderful ingredient.Just my opinion.

"Who needs worchestershire, lemon, tabasco pepper or dry mustard?" Those of us who like worchestershire, lemon, tabasco pepper and dry mustard in our sauce and are in the know about what constitutes a perfect cocktail sauce! Chili Sauce just wrecks the good cocktail sauce preferred by us sauce connoisseurs and purists.

JRPfeffI'll have a bottle of Hoffman House Cocktail Sauce in my next checked bag to Phoenix with foodbme's name on it (No, not THAT Hoffman).

I believe I've had Hoffman House Cocktail Sauce before. I think you can find it out here. Those kind of sauces go well with fried fish and fried shrimp, but the Basic Ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice Worchestershire, Tabasco/Crystal hot sauce is THE BEST for Shrimp Cocktail.

Even though the fried shrimp scene is kind of dismal here in Dallas there are several places that have a DIY "cocktail sauce bar". They provide ketchup, horseradish, L & P Worcestershire, lemons, a variety of bottled "hot sauces", and sweet relish and invite you to make your own poison. These places are an example: http://www.bigshucks.com/
